Royals look good in the runs for/against versus anyone stevo, but I don't have enough book on Greinke or Davis to pull the trigger. Pitchers are tuning up for the season now and going greater distances with fewer "experimental" pitches in the mix. They will be serious this last week.

What's up Key,Im 3-0 in pre-season,that's right,lol.to bad I'm something like 18-30 in that damn tour.,Sat.I have 4 losses,3 by 1/2 point and another by a whole point,bet you know how pissedI was,lol.GL today.

This is probably the last day of any worthwhile ST action, and I wish the results had been better, but the wise have been playing very small amounts and you have no idea how much the ST session has added to my data base. I will be surprised if I have anything tomorrow as the big boys break camp and head off for an exhibition or two before starting the regular season. Meanwhile, I have a ton of data entry and season projections to run. So, without further ado…….

BOL

Have pre-season stats in previous years worked for capping games early in the regular MLB season for you?

Athletics look great at that price. Lets just see how fat boy does without the JUICE this aft. Me and my brother watched every start he had last year and could not believe this was the same guy that played for the yanks a year prior. We both jokingly would say that he was juicin' and that there is no way he could be pitching this lights out. Low and behold our little joke held a lot more truth than we both knew

That said I'd still like to see him be the same pitcher he was last year. I used to laugh and fade this clown but after last year I've become somewhat of a fan (steroids aside).... Hell if melky can do it so far why not bartolo!

BOL with all your wagers today key

Really looking forward to your wagers this year.

fatolo actually pitched really well the first 4 months of the yearhe was throwing gas with great control and was going very deep into games

Pre season pitching stats are almost worthless unless you watch the progress of veterans working to get to a certain point by opening day and rookie hopefuls versus veteran hitters. Team performance in the early innings of lined games is helpful. It is like a lot of things, some usable stuff and some worthless stuff, but overall I think it helps get a feel for who made progress and who didn't.. Quick starts or struggling starts by some pitchers and teams may be indicated, so when some formerly poor team starts the season 7-3, mostly as an underdog, we aren't surprised and aren't scratching our heads saying, "WTF?"

Morning Key and am ready for the 2013 season.Regarding your note above i totally agree with you.If i may add i do like ST as it does as you note show who is struggling somewhat and who is doing better than expected although the roster by now has changed drastically

Last year in ST Jays were on fire and went 18-0 at one point in the month of March,then the season began

In April they went 12-11 and the longest win streak they had was 4-0,so things do change quickly

I do not think you can get much out of pitching stats as they are not in long enough to determine where anyone is going unless your looking at their last start in which they may still not pitch a full 5 innings and the managers are still trying out the last few stragglers on the roster

Momentum is a strong factor IMO esp the first 2 weeks of season

as teams are pumped to do well and show their stuff and then reality starts to set in esp once the first losing streak occurs ,looking forward to a $$$$ 2013 season
